Abstract

This paper offers an overview and discussion of some standard works about the study of midrash and its methods, starting with the Wissenschaft des Judentums in the 19th century. Isaac Heinemann was the first to present a more or less complete survey of midrashic method in his work (1949). But Heinemann himself already stood in a tradition of midrash study, initiated by Leopold Zunz in his seminal work (1832). Two relatively recent works retrace the footsteps of Heinemann, i.e. Jonah Fraenkel’s, (1991) and Daniel Boyarin’s, (1990). In addition to these works, other relevant studies about the subject are discussed briefly.
